No I am doing letter series for pre-numbered stock items, like AAA-001 thru ZZZ-999
so when issuing my program can automatically jump to the correct next letter series
i.e.
in stock starting number AAA-990
we issue 100
I want to automatically, with no users intervention say 2 lines of issuing
1st 10 each, AAA-990 thru AAA-999
2nd 90 each, AAB-001 thru AAB-90
and the procedure I am working on is just to set-up the letter series in advance
there is no combobox, I want a grid or listbox to preview the results of building the letter series
i.e. user enters starting letter: "AAA"
user enters ending letter: "AAD"
the preview will have
AAA 1-999
AAB 1-999
AAC 1-999
AAD 1-999
does this make it clearer?

Are you generating Keys for records (like lottery tickets) and the user will then enter one to access the rest of the record?
